So I got dumped in 2014. I discovered Bill Burr's You People Are All The Same standup routine, and for my broken hearted self then, it spoke to me. For those of you don't know, Burr jokes about women unable to have a rational argument, and using cheap debate tricks and emotional ploys to win arguments with men. Sorry, but the place I was in wasn't great. My thinking towards Burr in early 2015 was "OMG this guy is funny", late 2015 was "this is funny, but problematic", then in 2016 "OMG this guy is a fascist".

Another time I randomly found a dating app and profile on a girlfriend's phone when I was trying to connect her phone to the smart TV. There was a 45 minute space of time where I channeled all the hurt I ever felt in my past, and I started to think "yes all women are inherently selfish and deceitful". For that time, I was quite literally open to red-pill ideology. Thankfully I shook out of it. Having a support network to whinge about my pain helped too.

One bazillion percent, the dudes in my life have been worse than the women. Long term misogyny seems impossible.

    I thought people here like Burr?

    Honestly I haven't followed him closely enough. But I remember him doing Joe Rogan and other podcast stuff and I was pretty disgusted. It was even humour, it was just shitting on women and "woke culture". Did he have a redemption arc?

      He definitely said pro-socialisty things recently, I dunno if it's a full redemption arc or if he's just got a few good takes mixed in with the bad.

        I'm not gonna argue because I don't know and I can't be arsed to look it up. I just assumed that he went chud. Maybe someone else here knows 😂

      Didn't he make fun of Rogan for being anti-vaccine on his appearance though?

      I have no idea his humour was never for me. I think I saw one bit where he normalized being attracted to trans women which seemed pretty good? Honestly that’s about all I know until modern day he had a clip posted here dunking on a normie anti-communist

      He's a land of contrasts I guess. Hasan has played a few clips of him where he's really based but as others have pointed out on here he's had some not so based routines.
